Admin Forum or General Chat Forum

[Uphoreka]

Which forum should I create?

Admin Forum
OR
General Chat Forum

You'd probably have more chance in general chat then admin.

Neither.

Both of those forums are extremely overused concepts. Admin/promotion forums, general chat forums, and gaming forums are easily the 3 most made and overpopulated.

Unless you completely know everything about being an admin, I suggest a general chat forum.

General Chat forum.

agreed

That's two, however I will send a semi-rebuttal at gaming. You should say that it's general gaming, cause a forum about a recent specific game or a franchise that isn't Mario or Halo isn't necessarily overdone.

I'd have to agree. 🙂

You know, the question was "Which forum should I create?" and the two options are "Admin Forum" and "General Chat Forum".

"Neither" isn't an option so really, that is not a valid answer. This isn't really the place to talk about "overused" ideas.

To be fair, when theezy created Wober, the same notion of thought was around. It's over 700 members and nearly 150k posts. Who's to say that Noh!P can't do the same?

Just my suggestion. People come on here all the time starting general gaming forums/admin forums/general chat forums.
The fact is that nowadays these sites are very hard to take off the ground I simply suggested something different if he would like to see a successful forum.

And in response to you bringing up theezy, he is a well known site admin with a large community behind him from FA and his other projects. That's how his thing was so successful. What I meant is that both of these ideas are extremely overused forum genres, of which are hard to get going if you don't already have a large community behind you (ie theezy).

Make a mobile phone forum. There isn't really many around. :O I need advice on what phone to buy next. :O

Meh, or do general but make it super loopyer awesomely.

 

[StripesAndFins]

I'd say neither as they both have been done too many times before. try being more unique with forum ideas 🙂

I don't disagree as to what you said; the topic wasn't for alternative options and can be misleading.

Anyway, I believe forums such as general and admin that start off here don't tend to do well, as those people are much too reliant on these members to join, which by now, most of us are tired of seeing those forums.

theezy is not a well known site admin, to be fair. He is well known within a few forums, including FP, but is not a worldwide, recognized admin. Someone like the Shawn from DigitalPoint is known in the webmastering community as an example of a niche.

I say neither as well, there are too many around and unless your new forum can offer something different and unique, I don't think it will work out.

Mobile phone forum sounds interesting. Like a site where people talk about different phones and compare them and such.

Just not an "Iphone Forum" or an "Apple Forum". Those are very overdone.

I can see a mobile phone forum working out well though. That would be a cool one.
